Page 3 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, June 6, 2007 Chamber’s free Concerts in Park will begin June 14 By SCOTT JORGENSEN IVN Staff Writer What do a singing dog, the princesses of Bluegrass and “Valley Country Band” have in common? Answer: They will per- form during the free Illinois Nicole Navarro Valley Chamber of Com- merce annual Concerts in the Park series in Cave Junction’s Jubilee Park this summer. The first concert is scheduled for Thursday, June 14, when “Jefferson” will hit the stage. Takilma resident Nicole Navarro will perform her Country Rock on June 21 and Dale Hopper will play June 28. All concerts will be held on Thursdays, and run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Hopper, an O’Brien resi- dent, has performed at every Concert in the Park series since 1999 with various bands. In ‘99, it was with “Dale and the Siskiyou Mountain Folks.” “We had a lady play- ing mandolin, so we couldn’t call ourselves boys,” Hopper said. From 2000 to 2003, Hopper performed with “Dale and the Siskiyou Mountain Boys.” He played with “Sequoia during 2004 and with his longtime friend and musi- cal collaborator John Karsemeyer during the past two years. This year, Hopper will be playing with Karsemeyer again, along with his wife, Sharon, and his singing dog, “Claude.” Hopper said last year’s Jubilee Park performance marked the dog’s inadvertent on-stage debut. “He started singing last year at Concerts in the Park. People loved it,” Hopper said. During a subsequent show at the Valley of the Rogue State Park, Hopper brought “Claude,” who sat at the side of the stage. He didn’t yet know that “Claude” was a star in the making. “People who had been at the Concert in the Park here were there, and they asked if I was going to let ‘Claude’ sing,” Hopper said. Ever since, the dog has accompanied Hopper to vari- Firehouse Gallery display features ‘Things Forgotten’ “Things Forgotten,” a display of painting created by JS Bird, will be shown through June 30 at the Rogue Community College Fire- house Gallery. Bird, who lives in Mar- cola, Ore., uses a complex, layered narrative of mythol- ogy, ritual, and connection with ancestors, animals, and land to create images that reflect his ideas of beauty. “These images sing of the beauty of the world, cele- brate animal life, dance with magic, spirit, wounds and healing, and reflect a sensu- ous investigation of problem solving in the realm of color, shape, and surface,” said Bird, who earned a master of fine arts degree in painting from the University of Mas- sachusetts. The Firehouse Gallery is in Historic City Hall, Fourth and H Streets, Grants Pass. The gallery is open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tues- days through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

Hopper has played lo- cally for several years at loca- tions including Taylor’s Country Store and Art’s Red Garter. He has performed with Karsemeyer off and on since the late ‘60s. “We were both very young people compared to what we are now,” Hopper said with a smile. Anyone attending the June 28 show can expect to hear what Hopper describes as “old Country and Blue- grass,” including songs by legends Hank Williams and Merle Haggard. “The newest things I do are 25 years and older,” Hop- per said. On July 5, “Broadway Phil and the Shouters” will play. “T.J. and the Spurs” are scheduled for July 12, and “Altered States” will perform July 19. “Valley Country Band,” a five-piece outfit fronted by Charlie West, will play on July 26. The group has been to- gether for five years, and has participated in Cave Junc- tion’s Concerts in the Park for the last three years. West said he looks for- ward to the show. “I think it’s a beautiful little town,” West said. “I like the people over there, and I guess they like me.” “Valley County Band’s” set will consist of “Country classics,” West said, along with some original numbers. The concert series will conclude Aug. 2 with a per- formance by Grants Pass- based “Bluegrass Gospel” artists “The Emmon Sisters.” The group consists of four sisters ranging in age from 14 to 20 who write and perform original music. Au- gust will mark the third year that the sisters have played at Concerts in the Park. Barbecued hot dogs and hamburgers will be available for a fee by Valley Youth Ministries. Soft drinks also will be available. For more information on the series, phone the Illinois Valley Chamber of Com- merce at 592-3326.

According to a new re- port on selected Oregon com- modities, wine grape crops posted gross sales of $46.7 million last year, an increase of 27.6 percent since 2005. Increases in harvested acreage and improved yields due to better growing prac- tices, management and sea- sonal conditions resulted in a 25.6 percent increase in wine grape production.
